Jeremiah 6:14-20

14They have treated the wound of my people carelessly, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
15They acted shamefully, they committed abomination; yet they were not ashamed, they did not know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I punish them, they shall be overthrown, says the Lord.
16Thus says the Lord: Stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way lies; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it.
17Also I raised up sentinels for you: Give heed to the sound of the trumpet! But they said, We will not give heed.

18Therefore hear, O nations, and know, O congregation, what will happen to them.
19Hear, O earth; I am going to bring disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not given heed to my words; and as for my teaching, they have rejected it.
20Of what use to me is frankincense that comes from Sheba, or sweet cane from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor are your sacrifices pleasing to me.
